Cha Seong-gyun suddenly stood up.
“Go Johan…”
With hazy eyes, he called out Go Johan’s name.
“Kwon Moon-cheol… Park Kyung-ho… Kishin’s Jin Ei…”
Then he mentioned other names.
“They ordered… to frame Go Johan…!”
Finally, he screamed as if realizing something.
At that moment.
Kwaaaaaang!
Blue flames shot up into the sky.
“…!”
“What!”
“Take cover!”
“This way!”
The conference hall was in chaos, cameras moving to focus elsewhere.
That place was quite far from Seoul, in the suburban metropolitan area.
The flames were so high and intense that they could be seen from here.
“Wh-what’s happening…!”
“It’s terrorism!”
Shouts could be heard.
“Civilian casualties?”
Go Johan asked Yoon Seung-Ah.
“None. We thoroughly evacuated the surrounding area and even set up magical barriers just in case.”
The explosion was massive, but its power was reduced.
Rather, the reason it could be seen from here was because they had focused the explosion into a single point.
Moreover, it was a secret meeting of those plotting to overthrow all of South Korea.
It would have been ridiculous if there were civilians around.
Then.
Nod.
Yoon Seung-Ah nodded toward Min Jun-hyeok.
“E-everyone please calm down!”
Min Jun-hyeok shouted.
“This is by those who oppose the installation of warp gates…! South Korea will never bow to violence…!”
Min Jun-hyeok, being escorted by security guards, shouted.
And simultaneously.
“Cha Seong-gyun! You are under arrest for plotting rebellion!”
Association players and police player forces subdued Cha Seong-gyun.
“I… I… it’s not me…!”
The light in his eyes, which had been crying out as if possessed by something, suddenly disappeared.
It wasn’t particularly difficult.
Something they could have done anytime.
‘What demons can do.’
We can do it too.
We just hadn’t done it before.
“The confusion seems to be escalating. It would be best to leave.”
Go Johan said this to Go Jae-han.
Nod.
He nodded toward the gazes looking at him.
That would settle the meeting hall.
There would be those who suspected, but that didn’t matter either.
Rather, they had deliberately left openings for them to suspect and fear.
“You.”
It was Go Jae-han.
“Where are you going?”
Go Johan leaned on Yoon Seung-Ah’s arm and said to Go Jae-han.
“I need to eliminate the mastermind.”
At that moment.
Swoosh.
Go Johan’s body distorted into shadow along with Yoon Seung-Ah and disappeared.
The place where Go Johan reappeared was.
Kwaaaa!
Where mana was erupting like lava.
“Kishin Guild never intended to keep them alive from the start. They wanted the country to be completely overthrown.”
When Yoon Seung-Ah gestured, the superheated mana that seemed to burn everything began to disperse.
“Betrayal upon betrayal.”
Go Johan said.
“And betrayal again.”
Chuckle.
A hollow laugh came naturally.
This state where there was no one to trust reminded him of the world heading toward destruction.
That was what the demons wanted.
Go Johan had simply gotten between them and used them.
Amidst the dispersing mana.
Writhe.
A figure began to reveal itself.
“I thought you’d appear around now.”
There stood Jin Ei of Kishin Guild, half his body burned black.
*

Kwaaaa!
The mana Jin Ei was emitting was even more fierce than the mana bomb.
But unlike the mana bomb that concentrated mana and emitted extreme heat.
Ripple.
It was a black and murky light.
“I thought you’d appear around now.”
Yoon Seung-Ah stepped back respectfully, opposite to Go Johan stepping forward.
Now.
Goooo.
She had no intention of blocking or stepping ahead of the furious Go Johan.
Writhe.
What had been Jin Ei was writhing and transforming its body.
It seemed to be ‘regenerating.’
Sometimes such doubts arose.
‘Do we really need to go this far?’
This time was the same.
Did they really need to take control of the nation called South Korea and become the puppet masters manipulating policies and directions?
There were times when such disillusionment set in.
Cheol Jung-bae had said.
‘You madman!’
‘You’ve finally come to your senses.’
This was exactly the reason.
“You guys…”
Demons.
“Keep forcing me to cross the line.”
To deal with demons, those insane things, it couldn’t be helped.
Even now, he had to constantly struggle not to cross the line.
He built forces.
He tracked them to catch them and prevented their seeds from being sown.
But just by revealing themselves.
Writhe.
They bewitch people.
That irrational power, that authority that seemed to transcend everything, whispers to human nature.
‘Don’t you want it?’
I’ll let you have it.
You just need to sell many things.
Whether it’s your soul or someone else’s soul.
But if you just sell that, you will.
Writhe.
Grasp power and authority stronger than anything else.
You will transcend the human species.
With just one handshake, it was over.
“Demon contractors.”
The emergence of contractors beyond worshippers.
Kwaaaa!
Jin Ei charged at Go Johan with his completely transformed body.
These things were incomparably more powerful than ordinary demons.
The momentary heat from a corrupted soul became the driving force.
Kwaak!
For an instant, they transcend demons with multiple horns.
The void being cut away.
It tried to tear apart even Go Johan.
Kwang!
But Jin Ei, who had been casually swatted away by Go Johan’s annoyed hand, bounced off and rolled on the ground.
“Kugh!”
Though it was a brief exchange, part of Jin Ei’s upper body had been torn away.
However, it immediately began regenerating again.
“Were you quite pure?”
A contract with demons.
“Or is your contractor special?”
The momentary power that bloomed when those two things that shouldn’t touch collided was such a thing.
“Kruk… Kruruk…”
“A failure.”
Jin Ei was a failure.
Though he was a contractor who had successfully demonized in the face of death, he couldn’t maintain his reason.
What needed to be most guarded against were the successes standing on the opposite side.
Those were.
‘Complete vessels.’
They would be much more troublesome opponents than archdemons encountered in Black Gates.
Travania too had been unable to handle a dozen of those complete forms and everything had crumbled.
The Demon God was the same.
“……”
What if it had found a contractor and manifested in perfect form?
Even Michael wouldn’t have found it easy.
No, perhaps…
“Pathetic.”
But the thing before his eyes was just a failure.
Rolling on the ground, nothing but trampled trash.
Kwaaang!
What had been Jin Ei charged at Go Johan again, but.
Thud.
Before he knew it, the thing with its lower body torn off was blankly lying at Go Johan’s feet.
Crack.
Go Johan trampled on it.
“However, I’ll praise you.”
Go Johan’s cold eyes looked at it and said.
“Keep doing that from now on.”
“Kruruk…”
“Don’t hide, step forward. Don’t run away. I will…”
Crack!
“Find and tear apart every one of you.”
Invasion was just the demons’ method for increasing contractors.
Finally, the demons had truly begun to move.

Japan’s number 1 guild, Takeda.
Among them, there were those secretly raised.
Players raised directly under Sakamoto after his return to Takeda.
Though they were called special raid teams.
“Unfortunately, they can’t be seen here.”
They had a separate designation.
“Now!”
Kim Si-on, wearing a mask, drew his dagger.
Shing.
As if performing artistry, the specially curved dagger moved.
“Today is the day you reclaim your names.”
They belonged to the Takeda Group, and their actual captain was Sakamoto, but their true master was someone else.
“Yes, Master.”
Kim Si-on.
This special raid team was one of those created at Kim Si-on’s request.
One in South Korea, one in Japan.
It was one of Kim Si-on’s hobbies, but too destructive to be called just a hobby.
Forces that Kim Si-on had personally stepped forward to raise.
Swish.
Kim Si-on turned around with a pleased smile.
“If even one dies…”
But his eyes had changed.
Murderous intent glinted in his sunken eyes.
Who would see him as a boy who looked about fifteen?
What was in this place now was.
Ripple.
“I’ll revive and kill you again.”
A ghost.
‘Ghost.’
That was the name Kim Si-on wanted to give these people.
The nickname Lee Jae-Kyung had, Sword Ghost, was chosen playfully out of envy, but Kim Si-on was quite serious about it.
Today they would reclaim that name.
“Now, let’s go in.”
Thud.
Those rippling in black began to move.
What they entered was Osaka, Kishin Guild headquarters.
Tatatata!
Players began rushing beside Kim Si-on.
They too were wielding twin daggers like Kim Si-on or equipped with weapons like chain sickles.
All of them were items Kim Si-on had given them, inspired by novels and manga he had read for fun.
But he could guarantee.
Pwhaaak!
The beginning was a joke, but the result was no joke.
“Hah.”
Kim Si-on scratched his head with his dagger.
Swish.
He moved his body.
Reappearing, he moved both hands.
Pwhaaak!
Tore off two heads.
“These things aren’t even cockroaches.”
He could understand why Go Johan was so concerned about demon-related things.
When one demon nestled in an organization, the entire organization became corrupted.
Either selling the organization to demons to corrupt it.
Or being influenced by that power and offering themselves entirely to demons.
Pwhaaak!
It wasn’t bad.
Shing.
Because there were many things to cut down.
Kishin Guild – it took less than an hour for them to be erased.
“Kyaaaak!”
Those entering the blood-stained building began to scream.
Kim Si-on scratched his head with his dagger again and said.
“This side is finished!”
He was already in a good mood thinking about being praised by Go Johan.
